Meruem fled the dense forest in a disheveled state, quickly departing in a random direction.

Neferpitou is gone; he was killed and his flesh was devoured by the eerie vines in the dense forest.

He desperately ate the vines that were trying to strangle him before he could barely escape the dense forest.

He needs to find a safe place to absorb the power of the vines to evolve. Once he absorbs this power, he will become stronger.

Chimera Ants are genetically evolved through predation; their Nen abilities allow them to devour the flesh and blood of Nen users to become even stronger.

In other words, the creatures that devour the Dark Continent can also achieve this effect.

As long as he can devour more creatures from the Dark Continent, he will become stronger. One day, he will wash away the name of the Chimera Ants as weak and regain his place on the Dark Continent.

"These vines are the rope people? But when they're hidden, they do live up to the name, hanging dry and lifeless on the trees like eerie mummies."

Gojo Satoru watched the chaotic vines dance around him with great interest, commenting as the vines were aimed at him, but unfortunately, they were blocked by Wuxia.

Alluka was surrounded by calm water, and the vines automatically avoided him.

"Rope Man? What is that?"

Alluka pulled a vine and examined it closely, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"It's what you're holding. These vines and the dense forest are a set, and they contain a strange power."

Gojo Satoru saw through the true nature of the Rope Man; the vines were only one aspect of its ability to kill, the other was the strange power within its body.

If the vines lose their vitality and die, this strange power will attach itself to the creature that killed the vines and continue to live.

Jaeger Zoldyck probably brought the Rope Man's genes back to the Zoldyck family in this way, and they were passed down through generations.

This power initially lies dormant in the blood, gradually growing stronger by absorbing nutrients, eventually reaching a critical point and erupting at a certain moment.

However, the human body can hardly withstand this strange force, thus leading to death.

This must be the so-called curse passed down in the bloodline of the Zoldyck family.

As for why it was the silver-haired family heads who survived, it's probably because they were more adaptable than others, and their bodies could accommodate this power.

Gojo Satoru frowned slightly. He hadn't seen this kind of power in the Zoldyck family before, probably because of Alluka.

Alluka and Nanika coexist, most likely because Nanika unconsciously absorbed the rope-man power from the others into herself.

So far, nothing has happened to Illumi and his men in this generation.

However, Silva and his companions were unaware of this turn of events, which made them even more wary and disgusted with Nanika, this unidentified being.

They felt that Nanika's existence threatened the survival of the entire Zoldyck family; they couldn't kill the unknown creature and dared not.

Therefore, the only option was to lock up Alluka and prevent others from contacting them.

Having found the key point, Gojo Satoru led Alluka out of the dense forest. That power should still exist in Alluka's body, but it was covered by Nanika's power.

Otherwise, this side quest should show as automatically completed.

Nanika is not a significant threat to the Zoldyck family now, as Alluka has learned how to control and utilize her power, which is now manageable.

So now all of Rope Man's power is concentrated in Alluka's body, which makes things easier.

"Alluka, let Nanika come out for a moment."

Gojo Satoru wanted to test his idea, so he asked Alluka to wake up the sleeping Nanika.

"it is good."

Alluka didn't ask why, and simply obediently handed over the right to use her body to Nanika.

"Hehe... I understand..."

As soon as Nanika appeared, she picked up Gojo Satoru. Ever since she grew taller, she and Alluka have liked to do this.

"Nanica, is there anything different about your body?"

Gojo Satoru didn't care about Nanika's movements. He had long been used to human transportation. After all, he was just a child, and there was nothing shameful about it.

"What's different?"

Nanica thought about it seriously for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"No."

"That shouldn't be the case. Don't you feel any strange power within your body?"

Gojo Satoru felt he was right; the power of the Rope Man was within Alluka.

"Ah! I remember now, is this what you mean?"

A black, thread-like energy form appeared in Nanika's hand, giving off an eerie feeling.

"This thing has been hidden inside our bodies all along, and I think it must taste delicious."

But Alluka said I shouldn't eat just anything, so I haven't touched it.

Nanika's voice went from excitement to disappointment, which showed that she really wanted to eat this stuff.

"It's okay, you can eat it, it's fine."

Gojo Satoru smiled and said that it would only benefit Nanika from absorbing this energy body, and that absorbing this power was like taking a supplement for her.

"Mmm, this is delicious."

Upon hearing Gojo Satoru's words, Nanika couldn't wait to stuff the ball of energy into her mouth and swallow it in one gulp, radiating a joyful aura.

[Ding! Side Quest 1 is complete, and the reward has been credited to your account.]

Upon receiving the system notification, Gojo Satoru considered whether he should send Alluka back first, since the main quest was to explore the Dark Continent, which he could complete on his own.

"Nanika, do you want to go home or stay on the Dark Continent?"

He's a very democratic person; whether or not to go back depends on his opinion.

"I understand, but I won't turn back."

Nanika means she doesn't want to go back and wants to stay with Gojo Satoru.

"Okay, let's go together then."

.........

.........

Six months later, deep within the heart of the Dark Continent.

Gojo Satoru and Alluka stood atop the World Tree, gazing into the distance and overlooking the entire Dark Continent.

The height of this World Tree is incomparable to that of the small World Tree in the human world.

The World Tree in the Lesser World is 1784 meters tall, while the one in the Dark Continent is conservatively estimated to be at least 5000 meters tall.

He didn't know how high it was, because they hadn't climbed to the top either.

Gojo Satoru and the others are currently only standing on a branch of the World Tree.

It wasn't that he didn't want to climb up, but that he couldn't climb any higher once he reached a certain height.

They were stopped by the power of the rules; the top of the World Tree might hold the secret to the formation of the Dark Continent.

This world possesses a global consciousness, and it has blocked the path to the top of the World Tree.

Gojo Satoru didn't have much curiosity to explore the secrets of this world, but before leaving, he plucked a branch of the World Tree and threw it into his spatial dimension.

"Phew, luckily I ran fast, I almost got caught."

He took Alluka back to the vicinity of the Sky Arena. Just before leaving, he sensed the power of the rules.

The system warnings are all highlighted in red and keep ringing.

666 really deserves to kneel down in admiration for Gojo Satoru. How could he be so bold as to pluck a branch of the World Tree?

That's the World Tree! This branch could directly support a small world if placed there.

If Gojo Satoru hadn't run away quickly, they would have been invited for tea by the World Consciousness.
